For the part of the category change it is to my uderstanding that
gentoo is slowly moving from x11 style categories to gui-* .
Partly due to the wayland starting to become used more. I noticed
with sway first on that.
As for the slot part somebody more knowledgeable than me can chime in.

Makes sense, but I would have expected version 4 to be added as a new
slot, and that action to be separate from the category switch.
